UTAU for Mac: UTAU-Synth

Source: UTAU-Synth

A Mac OS X version of the UTAU software has been released. More info after the break.

Until now, Mac users couldn’t enjoy UTAU, and were limited to only using proprietary software like the Macne series instead as there was no Mac OS X version of Vocaloid either. But they can now rejoice as an UTAU port, called “UTAU-Synth”, has been announced! For now, there’s only a 30 day trial version, and there’s no additional info as of now as to what will be coming up next.

Check out this cover of Kenji Sawada’s “Toki no Sugiyuku Mama ni” by mazzo.


According to the official UTAU-Synth website, the interface has been completely redone and there are three new features: lyric input works the same regardless of the type of voicebank (be it renzoku-on, aka continuous, or regular VB’s), the possibility to place notes freely, and click-and-drag rectangular selection.

You can download the UTAU-Synth 1.0.0 b11 version here, get your 30 day license here, and check the online help here (Japanese). In case the links don’t work, go directly to the download page.

      Extremely seconded.

  • Matchi

    I’m glad to hear more news about this, and that cover sounds awesome.

    But by ‘get your 30 day licence’ does that mean they’ll make you pay for it? That is like, against the biggest advantage of UTAU…

  • zenoxy

    The interface looks pretty.

    And that is all I can say about that.
    Lol maybe if I have time I'll actually see if the compatibility with Logic is something possible.

    Going to try this out! Interface is pretty and I've never played with UTAU before so this could be a great chance for me to become more familiar with them. There goes my uni projects…

  • rprebel

    I'm not even an UTAU fan, but I still plan on losing hours and hours with this :)

  • Panda Hero

    YES!! FINALLY!!! I've been waiting forever! And ever! So you need to download a Utau's voice banks for it to work then?

    • nyaa

      It has a default voicebank with it, but you can definitely download more voicebanks.

  • Megan Maury-Harden

    Awesoooome and it has nothing to do with GarageBand which makes it a million times better! As long as the port is free like the original, I'm happy.

  • sleepysheep7

    I usually hate UTAU with a passion because of its messy format and poor voice banks but this Mac version looks very nicely cleaned up. It looks like at step in the right direction with putting the voice effects ( Dynamics, Brightness, Breathiness, etc,etc ) at the bottom then on the notes themselves.

  • Gray Aoi

    i don't how to add voice banks on it D:

    • Gray Aoi

      aww thank you :D but do you know how to create a new UTAU with UTAU-Synth ? D:

  • Swordshifter49

    I wonder if there's still a delay before the singing starts? I'll have to try this once I get access to a Mac, but I'll likely be getting one this fall/winter anyway

  • uta-chan

    when will the full version come out?

    • willyT

      i hope soon, but for now, can we renew the 30-day thing? or do we need to back up our stuff made with this, uninstall, download again, and register again?
      or… is it just 30 days and ur done? ;_;

    I downloaded it, and downloaded new voice banks like Michiyo Ishimaru, but when in the program, the voice banks won’t sing! Not even the simple “Ah~”. I think I need to change my default UTAU, however, it’s in japanese so I have no idea how to…

    Always thought japanese was hard… But once you know chinese, everything else is easier ^ ^ Though I’m not getting the license part. Do we need to renew?

  • AnNe :D

    um yeah well i downloaded the latest version of utau and when i tried to open int it said that there was no licence and that i had to register a key (it’s asking for a kind of password thing) help anyone? (i don’t know if this matters but my computer has the lion system)

  • SophiaAi

  • Omniscia

    A new 30-day trial code is released every month. You can renew your trial with a new code.
